Redding Colliery, Love and Pride win Big A stakes

NEW YORK (AP) - Redding Colliery and Love and Pride raced to pacesetting victories Saturday in $75,000 stakes at Aqueduct.

Redding Colliery held off I Want Revenge, the 4-5 favorite, by 2 lengths in the Evening Attire, a race postponed last weekend because of snow. A gray 6-year-old trained by Kiaran McLaughlin and ridden by Alan Garcia, Redding Colliery won for the seventh time in 20 starts. He ran the 1 1-16 miles in 1:43.05, and paid $6.90 to win as the 2-1 second choice.

Love and Pride had an easier time in the Affectionately for fillies and mares, beating Bahia Beach by 7 lengths. Cornelio Velasquez rode for trainer Todd Pletcher as the 4-year-old improved to 4 for 9. She paid $3.90 to win the race clocked in 1:43.90 for the same distance on the fast track.
